La #IndustriaAeroespacial española pone en valor su liderazgo en la misión Proba-3 de la #ESA, que se lanzará el 29 de noviembre, en el evento de presentación de la misión celebrado en el Centro Europeo de Astronomía Espacial (ESAC). Un posicionamiento que nos orgullecemos de haber hecho posible desde Sener como líderes de la misión, en estrecha colaboración con un consorcio de 40 empresas de 16 países. _____________ 🛰 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮ñ𝗼𝗹𝗮 en la misión que demostrará la viabilidad del vuelo en formación entre satélites al tiempo que realizará importantes labores científicas: 🔷 Sener se ha convertido en una de las primeras empresas españolas en liderar una misión completa de la ESA. Nuestro equipo de Sener Aerospace & Defence ha participado como contratista principal de la misión y responsable tanto del segmento de vuelo como del de tierra; 🔷 Airbus Defence and Space, ha llevado a cabo el diseño y la fabricación de las dos plataformas; 🔷 GMV ha desarrollado el subsistema de vuelo en formación, de la dinámica de vuelo y de la función de GPS relativo; 🔷 Deimos, ha sido responsable del análisis de órbita y del desarrollo del experimento de rendezvous. 🗨 Proba-3 deberá superar desafíos que requieren "un gran esfuerzo en muchos ámbitos, desde el análisis de misión, hasta los algoritmos de guiado, navegación y control. España ha jugado un papel fundamental en el diseño, integración y pruebas de estos sistemas. Esta misión ha sido liderada por Sener, pero no podríamos haber llegado a este punto sin el apoyo de la industria participante y, muy especialmente, el equipo central, formado por empresas españolas de primer nivel”, enfatizaba nuestro director de Espacio y Ciencia, Diego Rodríguez Gómez, durante su intervención. Cabe mencionar, por su importante papel en la misión como parte del core team industrial coordinado por Sener, a las empresas belgas Redwire Space y SPACEBEL. ______________   La presentación de 𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼́𝗻 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘂𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 de nuestro país:   El evento contó con la participación de autoridades como Diana Morant Ripoll, ministra de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades; Juan Carlos Cortés, director de la AEE; Professor Carole Mundell, directora de Ciencia de la ESA y directora de ESAC; y Luis Manuel Partida, alcalde de Villanueva de la Cañada, así como con la intervención de Noelia Peinado, coordinadora del programa GSTP de la ESA; y de Anik De Groof, directora del proyecto Solar Orbiter de la ESA. También tuvo lugar una mesa dedicada a la industria, en la que intervinieron Diego Rodríguez Gómez, por parte de Sener; Francisco Javier Benito, Proba-3 Project Manager en Airbus Defence and Space; Mariella Graziano, directora de desarrollo de negocio de Espacio en GMV; e Ignacio Tourné, director de desarrollo de negocio de Deimos.   #SenerAerospaceandDefence

🚢🛰 #MachineLearning is making waves in the field of ship detection. ⚓️✨ Don’t let this article sail by, learn more about how a new Norwegian Space Agency activity* with VAKE, S[&]T and EmLogic is **shore** to help us improve detections of dark vessels in real time. https://lnkd.in/eR7i2Pte *With support from ESA's General Support Technology Programme

24.10.24 🤩 Today is the day 🤩 After more than two weeks from the #Hera launch, we can finally say Tyvak International’s baby #Milani is alive and in good health!! Today we executed the first power on, first contact and health check... All nominal ✅ The most exciting thing is that while doing the commissioning, #Hera was 9 million km away from Earth 🌍 It is unbelievable and just a first taste of the asteroid mission phase, beginning in two years! Thanks to European Space Agency - ESA Tyvak International team and the whole Milani consortium for their support in this incredible journey! For today achievement, a special thank to Sylvain Lodiot Franco Perez-Lissi Marco Pavoni Daniele Calvi Filippo Corradino Andrea Zanotti Sarah Vandermeulen Antonio Esposito Joffrey Coheur Safe travel #Hera, #Milani and #Juventas! A step (much) closer to Didymos!! ☄️ 🦕 🦖 🛰️ 🚀 Ps. There is another reason why this day will stay in the memories of Tyvak team…But it remains within Tyvak team 😂

When sending a mission to space, how can you tell it's going to work? Young professionals at space sector SMEs are invited to apply to attend a Product Assurance Awareness Training Course, offered by ESA Academy at  at ESA’s Training and Learning Facility in ESEC-Galaxia in Belgium: https://lnkd.in/gSn4ZGze

🚨 🚨 🚨 Tomorrow is Proba-3 Day at IAC! ESA's double-satellite eclipse-making mission is in the spotlight at two events - first at the stand of Sener, the mission's prime contractor at 11:00, followed by a science-themed talk at the ESA stand at 13:00. Not to be missed! https://lnkd.in/eUK_h4eR

Over two fantastic days, we welcomed in ESA/ESTEC more than 9000 visitors on Sunday and over 280 guests with a disability on Saturday —talk about energy and excitement! A huge thank you to the 750 incredible ESA volunteers and 150 from NL Space Campus who made this event possible. Showing what we do, and talking about your passion is the key for such a success ! It was great to see the Ariane 6 Upper Stage up close, meet so many astronauts, and enjoy some seriously cool cosplay!   Wall-E robot really stole the show, with crowds following him around like he was the main attraction! 🤖 (I think he’s ready for his next ESA mission!) The Open Days are a proud tradition that truly showcases ESA at its best: inspiring, inclusive, and full of positive energy.  Already looking forward for next year! 🚀💫 #Space #ESAOpenDays24 #ESTEC #OpenDay #SpaceRocks #NLSpaceCampus #Netherlands #Astronauts #DutchGarrision #Ariane6

On the left is the 1st in-space metal weld European Space Agency - ESA has been involved with, on the right its terrestrial equivalent. The weld - performed on a SpaceX launcher by ThinkOrbital with TWI - is now being examined in #ESTEC's Materials Lab in support of future in-orbit manufacturing plans https://lnkd.in/exN824YB

I,ve just finished my presentation at ECSSMET24. It is a pleasure to share and learn from the community all the work done during the last years in AM4ALL GSTP. Thanks to European Space Agency - ESA and Centro Avanzado de Tecnologías Aeroespaciales (CATEC) for their support and congratulations to CITD Engineering & Technologies team for their wonderful job. It has been a fruitful congress for the team with Juan Antonio López Salido and Thomas Le Caillec presentations; hopefully we will be showing more achievements in the events to come 😁
